Playing in normal. I just cleared mission 18.
The air tortoise is a godsend against those fucking giant white mechas.

I'm considering getting this, but need to get my friends to do it too or I'll feel lame on my own or with randos. Any suggestions/reasons to buy 4.1?

>>149227103
Just buy it. The single player alone is fun as fuck.

>>149227103
Co op with randoms is really fun in this game, try it

I want to like fencer but the clunkiness is just not fun, it's a chore to play even when you're blowing shit up with mortars and hand cannons, and it doesn't seem like the firepower is that much greater then what the other classes have. Does it get better at endgame?

Is there a way to upgrade flight time/energy capacity for Wing Diver? Trying out all classes and hate the energy management

>>149235253

Nope.

Best thing for Wingdivers to do is to use weapons that recharge once to fill their magazine, and then only drain energy again when they recharge. That way you can use all your energy for flying around and dogding shit, while you gun isnt burning off your energy constantly

The guns that drain energy every time you shoot mostly suck ass, except for those huge plasma grenade launchers which are pretty great to have for hordes of bugs.

Really hope this game gets some sort of mod support. It'd be perfect.

Currently doing the mission after killing the ant queen and having a bit of an issue. Does the ship target a random area on the field, or is it targeted at certain areas? Because it seems rather ridiculous that you can get screwed over by a 1HKO weapon at any given moment.

Is my game bugged or does the Fencer actually have very low aim sensitivity and long input lag with certain guns?

>>149275735
It depends on his guns. His cannons are very slow and cumbersome so its a slow movement. The cannons also take a bit to pull back to fire.

If its a melee weapon its probly a bug

>>149274324
yeah and the drop ships

>>149275735
It's the game.

So what is the purpose of weapon levels, anyhow? I haven't seen them do anything purposeful thus far.

>>149276708
all it is is to indicate how strong a weapon is, and in multiplayer there are restrictions on them i think

>>149276782
Yep. The restrictions are to keep you from bringing something like a level 20 gatling gun on an easy difficulty co-op run of the first mission.

Is there a way to level up or increase the Wing Diver suit charge so you can fly longer?

Armor isn't shared across the classes, right? Like if you collect some on one class, do other ones get it too?

>>149288443
I dont think so.

>>149288443
As far as I know, they do not. The number of pickups you get also doesn't seem to translate 1:1 to improved armor for that class either.

>>149287069
>>149288443
Didn't mean to reply to you.

>>149288683
Yeah, ranger is 1:3, WR is 1:5, and lancer is 1:2, or at least I think so, I'm guessing AR is same as ranger.

>>149288832
So for WR you'd need 5 pickups to get 1 improvement in armor? That seems about right.

Underground stuff's good if you're good at chokepoint control since that means you can just hoover it up as you proceed instead of traipsing all over like in larger levels. Alternatively you could just use something like cheatengine and set the armor pickup count to 50 or 100 and just play normally, once the body count really starts picking up in later missions it's not unfeasible to hit that many naturally anyway, like that one fuckhuge level with the massive EDF army vs all those hectors and shield bearers and ants and drones later on.

How the fuck do you deal with dragons, these assholes just dive bombing to eat me, blocking my vision with their corpses. I'm playing fencer, these are the OINLY enemies that just halt the fun train every single time I see them. They are so obnoxious to fight, moreso than the usual obnoxiousness.

Just finished it, circle around the edge of the map and work on the shield bearers at the outermost esctions, Wing Divers are great since they can zip in, wreck the shields and then bug out before things get hairy. After about 4 or so a bunch of drones will show up, plus any ants in the area will start homing in on you, and after that the mothership'll start shooting lasers and plasma artillery until you kill some more peons and it buggers off for good. After that it's just clean-up.

I started to wonder why my Health was going down before my armor and then I realized it's one of THOSE games.

This one's for you :^)

So is ther a dedicated general yet? anyone down for some coop? I got to mission 8ish and im feeling like i want to try this with people because my group of friends are wowfags and/or don't like trying new games

I'm too stupid for multiplayer

I join a room

it says the people in it are playing

once I complete my preparations it just says "OK" on my character panel but it doesn't actually join the game

>>149318714

>>149319430
Play every class now and then for unlocks

Do people actually play this on steam? I remember playing 2025 on the 360 and never found any online games.

Are the controls better on PC? Is it decent online activity?

>>149319430
Play the MP. Solo is fun and all, but hanging out with bros murdering thousands of insects and robots is the real EDF experience.

>>149326436
Tons of people playing. I don't know how split the region lock is, but I'm on the LA steam download region and there's probably around 30 rooms open right now. KB+M is fantastic except for the forced floatiness for fencers and helicopters.

>>149326436
Using a KB&M, nothing really feels counter-intuitive, aside from the fact that LEFT MOUSE FIRES THE GUN DISPLAYED ON THE RIGHT, AND RIGHT MOUSE FIRES THE GUN DISPLAYED ON THE LEFT ON FENCER

Depends, do you enjoy the satisfaction of running around with a vulcan hammer and dash cancelling with a shield, barraging fire and brimstone in the center of a hundred ants?

Do you just love the smell of destruction and devastation whilst your Hand-held Gatling Guns rev down after spitting out hot lead for a full minute?

Or perhaps you just like nutting in your power-suit as an after-effect of launching a heavy mortar shell that shreds a fuckload of xeno-scum from a mile away?

>>149327405
>launching a heavy mortar shell that shreds a fuckload of xeno-scum from a mile away

I'm edging just thinking about it.

>>149327550
That's not the recoil from the gun you're feeling coursing through your body...

And do you want to know what's even better?

you can wield two of those mortars, and actually shoot at a decent pace, ignoring about half of the recoil time

>>149327405

>>149327767
You would like the Dispersal Mortars then. You have to aim upwards to get a distance shot. Else youll get 12 shots of explosives in the face.

>>149281818
I dunno. I just like how insect desintegrate in IA, how the shield is entirely energetic, and how simple the game is. Only 9 level, while I just dropped a weapon level 43 at 4.1.
It's not the game says "hey, you just want to kill insects? No worries".

>>149330664

Yeah, the microphone stuff in the PC version is fucked up.

The game completely IGNORES all your steam voice chat settings, and uses its own thing, which has no settings whatsoever. The mics are also constantly on, and transmitting, no push to talk or anything.

The only thing you can do is hold your mouse over a players name in the lobby screen and click on them and mute them. Theres nothing else you can do really.

The best thing is to hook up with some people over Discord/Mubmle/Teamspeak/etc, and then use that program to talk while you mute the same players in the actual game so theres no feedback loop.

Anyone want to do some hard missions? I'm a babby that plays mostly on normal so i'm sort of a shitter and I want to make the jump to not shittery.

Kite them backwards while reflecting their fire back at them, surprisingly effective on higher difficulties. If you have lots of NPCs on the mission, bring a mortar or two to clear out the derppiles when they pile up on top of the NPCs.

>>149350248
THE E.D.F DEPLOYS!

>>149350348
How do you even use the dynamo blade? All these weapons move you around when you need to have the crosshair exactly on the enemy to hit.

The only weapon I can use is that repeating spear.

>>149350492
Dynamo blade is actually a ranged weapon. The blade sends a wave of energy flying and cutting through enemies.

>>149350492
They're range-based.

Dynamo M2 at least has a pretty worthless tier 1, lowest range, damage, but no 'shifting around'
Tier 2 is okay, it cuts through ants, longer range, better damage, surprisingly also doesn't shift around

Tier 3 is for long range dante must die mode, highest damage output, but moves you forward like a motherfucker.

The thing with the dynamo blade is that the beam it launches out sends out a pretty huge energy wave, so you don't have to be extremely specific about where you point as long as you aim in the general region.

>>149350630
>>149350606

>>149350492
And as an example of what it can do - Normal level, one Tier 3 charge.

>>149350757
Those things only have like 800hp on normal, which is nothing

>using dynamo blade ever

Why not just get a hand cannon, which does more damage, more quickly, and more accurately

>>149350845
Because hand cannons are not cool.

>>149350845
I deck two UT2 Hand Gatling guns in my other slots.

Also, dash-cancelling for maximum overspeed.

the main selling point is the dynamo blade's range, though.

What do you guys use against shield bot + walker guy combos as fencer?

You an dash in pretty fast with cancelling, but then you have to stop moving in order to attack and the walker bot will look down at you with its huge arm cannons and instagib your shit before you can even take aim at either it or the shield generator

>>149350978
No clue, but I had a few giggles the first time I met a Hector and found out I could dash between its legs and probe its ass with the repeating spear until it died.

>>149350978
deflection shield + jackhammer

keep blocking while dashing in close and when you're in range fuck up the hector with jackhammer.

can also go javelin + jackhammer if you're hardcore but it only works against single hectors

>>149351121
But any damage you take while blocking flings you backwards out of the shield

>>149351161
dash to the side a bit to also make it a dodge and you can get close despite being pushed back sometimes

Why is the vibro hammer so shit? It can barely kill normal ants

>>149351840
It only works if they're on the ground. Also you need to charge it.

Can melee weapons destroy buildings or do I have to use artillery only?

Missiles can't do a thing.

>>149353856
Hammers/Axes destroy buildings and are also dope.

>mfw I finally discover the joys of the galleon triple burst cannon and how much of a difference it is to be able to go at your full movespeed while firing

Even though fencers have slow walk speed, it's so much better then standing still while firing, I don't die to ants spamming goop any more

I hope the higher level versions of the galleon are just as good

>>149353954
But not spears? That sucks.

I want to be a Starship Trooper but is this shit worth buying, and if so is it even playable if I do not have a gamepad?

>>149354618
Since the game is primarily based around point and shooting Keyboard and Mouse is generally the better option.

People say it's easier to aim in vehicles with a controller but if you don't play Air Raider (out of the four classes) then that doesn't apply to you.

>>149354618
I have been using the keyboard+mouse since the beginning.

Except some inertia when you move around, it's okay.

>>149354859

I kind of feel like some of the features of IA would have been nice in a new EDF. I rather liked the ability to sprint/forward boost without any kind of gimmick like diagonal rolling or dash cancelling.

I also liked the "Bug zapper" shield that you could get with the heavy armor guy.

Oh, and fuck pretty much everything else about IA though.

That too. And also the fact that there are less bullets on screen. In IA, the ants have less range, and they only shoot one thing.
In 4.1, they shoot 5-6 bullets in an arc, and while I can't prove it, I'm sure that you stagger if you take too many bullets to the face at once.
The drones got me like that a few time, cutting me in the middle of a dash.

Heavy armour was also less tedious, since you were a little faster. If you don't use dash cancel in 4.1, you'll miss all the battles and drop dead immediately once the bugs reach you.

I'm feeling the gear thirst when can I start reasonably doing the beginning missions on Hard?

Does the bug HP scaling in coop depend on the number of players or is it a static boost?

wing diver is way too much fun, too bad about the linked jetpack/weapon energy
